I'm suspicious of Lucas, but he has long been critical of corporatist Hollywood. He talks about how in the 70s there was a lot of space for independent directors in Hollywood, and then big corporations came in in the 80s and started making MK Ultra/formulaic crap.
Not sure why he would sell to Disney of all companies, but Star Wars was and is a massive cash cow and propaganda tool, maybe there was an offer he couldn't refuse?
An offer like take the $$ and walk away, and no one gets hurt?
That kind of offer?
Lucas could just be in it for the money. Or he might be a true artist, but I'm not so sure. Anyone who knows anything about the music industry knows that there are many artists who are poor, but the record labels made 100's of millions on those same artists. So yeah, the entertainment industry is corrupt and rotten to the core.
No need for hostility. Yes that is obviously possible, but he did also call Disney white slavers on CBS, so it's a little strange that he would sell his iconic IP to that same company.
There's a lot of ways powerful people make threats to get what they want.
In any case, you are right - he sold out. What surprised me is how much Lucas seemed to treat SW movies like his babies. He redid the later releases, and he changed scenes to be more politically correct - I saw many complaints over all of that. And then he lets go of it all.
